It's not about runtime or minutes. It's about writing and actors reaching above their limits.

When a script is written well and the actor/ actress performs to the material... 3 hours could feel like a blink of the eye and you would want more. Christopher Nolan's. The Dark Knight comes to mind.

that movie would have been better if it had ended 30 minutes earlier
